Pigeon in Detroit

from The Middle Ages, Vol II by Tyler Shipley

about

You can tell a lot about a person by what they think of pigeons.

lyrics

Huddled against the wind, pigeon don't got a lot of friends. Her own fault, made a choice, checked a box that read 'pigeon in detroit.' In other words, we don't care. Someone had to take that job, life ain't easy, life ain't fair. So hold your talon in the air, if it's the only talon up there. Pigeon lives crash up against each other with such consequence, one day we're laughing in the snow, the next I'm in the hospital. Your bedside I don't belong I didn't know you very long, things got real so suddenly you're shaking with epilepsy. So hold your head together now, in over my head anyhow. Fill the air with platitudes about changing the world with our attitudes. Sometimes it's not good enough, the earth is made of crueler stuff: concrete, plastic, glass and steel, no easy place to find your next meal, so huddle close, you'll be a pigeon until you go. So hold onto your dignity. You don't got that you don't got anything.
